Vs threads are, 95% of the time either repeated, voided of content or simply trolling/spam threads. They were abused and still are to either abuse the thank you/like buttons or the latest threads/hottest threads lists (beats me why that is important...). So allowing them to show in those lists is counterproductive.
As for the TOP threads, the sticky was made because in a single day we had about 20 to 30 threads regarding personal "tops" and they generally converged in the same discussion, same arguments, same characters, etc etc. Its the same topic: who are your top ninjas in the series? Thus, because it is the same topic, making a multitude of threads about the same is spamming. To avoid having to infract everyone who spammed the same threads over and over again but still allow the discussions, the sticky thread was made. People don't post there much because they are self centered needy people who want the attention to be shifted into their own little thread, assuming that their opinion or point is somehow always better than their neighbours when in essence its 99% the same. Its a way to control the spam in that section and it will be done. And probably will be done for other similar issues in the future if needed.
